Gintoki squatted on the ground shivering with his head in his hands, but after a moment passed, Gintoki didn't feel anything strange, but heard a faint burst of applause.
Then, Gintoki tentatively opened his eyes and took a careful look. He saw that those hands were still in place, clapping softly and continuously, as if celebrating something. Then, Gintoki stood up. , looking at the hands scattered on both sides of the corridor with some confusion, obviously not yet clear what the situation was.
At this moment, behind Gintoki, the proprietress Ayan walked slowly towards Gintoki while applauding.
"Congratulations." The boss lady stopped, but the applause did not stop, "I passed the interview."
"Huh?" Gintoki turned his head and made a confused sound.
…
In the landlady's room.
Ayan rummaged through the box and took out pieces of clothing, and threw them on Gintoki's head and in front of Gintoki without looking back, "I'll give you forty seconds to put on your clothes! I hate people who dawdle, here But it’s very busy!”
Gintoki put on the work clothes on the floor after listening to the boss's wife's words, twitching the corners of his mouth, drooping his face as he couldn't figure out the situation at all, and asked in confusion: "What is this? What's going on?"
"That guy from Denshi really sent good stuff." At this time, Ayan was still looking for something.
"ah?"
"Although women can't do it, it's a pity to see that guy with glasses. Although psychic vision is good, he can't do this job if he's possessed."
"What are you talking about? What exactly is work..." Gintoki asked doubtfully.
But before he finished speaking, a translucent stand-in that looked like a young woman wearing white clothes and a triangular scarf on her forehead suddenly appeared on the wall next to Gintoki. Gintoki was frightened and quickly moved aside, and shouted in fright. got up.
"Madam Boss, a group of guests are here." The substitute said, and floated behind the Madam Boss.
At this time, the landlady finally found what she was looking for: a bag of peanuts. She immediately turned to look at Gintoki, who was in shock, and introduced to the female stand-in on the side: "Ling, he is new here, tell him the rules here. .”
Saying that, the landlady took out a peanut and fed it to the substitute named [Spirit], then looked at Gintoki again and reminded: "Gin, remember, don't use your real name here, the name is the connection between the body and the body. The chains of the soul, if they know about it, they will be dragged to another world."
Gintoki, who was squatting behind the door and sweating, peeked out half of his face and complained weakly: "Well, it seems that I have been dragged into some strange world. What is this? This has become a completely different work. Right? Is it because Shaman King has recently been remade and released? Is it because you want to ride on the popularity? Because the popularity is not enough, do you want to ride on the popularity of popular comics? Is that why you chose this subject this time?"
The landlady, who didn't care at all about Gintoki's complaints, threw the whole bag of peanuts in her hand to Gintoki, and reminded her again: "Take this, Gin, and let them eat this and they will become obedient. Also, don't do it." That’s too much. If you understand, start working quickly.”
After saying that, without waiting for Gintoki's reaction, the landlady walked out of the door and left in a certain direction.
"Let's go, Yin." The girl named Ling walked through the door and floated to the other side without looking back.
Gintoki, on the other hand, was once again frightened to the point where his hair stood on end.
…
Afterwards, Gintoki suppressed his fear and talked to Rei, and learned from Rei's mouth that this hotel was a hotel specializing in serving body doubles, and that he was sold to work here by Toshi's mother-in-law. Gintoki's whole person felt like He was stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Only the landlady Ayan and a few of our assistants have been working, but at this time, there are so many substitutes that we can't keep up." Ling turned to look at Gintoki, who was standing still, "For someone like you who is adaptable to substitutes, people…"
Before Ling could finish speaking, Gintoki quickly raised his hand to stop, and retorted exaggeratedly with a sweaty face: "Wait a minute! I am adaptable to the substitute? How is it possible? It feels like talking to you now. It’s like having three bowel movements.”
As he said that, Gintoki covered his buttocks and began to twist: "Not good, the feeling seems to be coming up again."
"You still don't understand. Being able to talk to me proves that you are adaptable," Ling replied calmly, "Wanting to poop only shows that you are a rookie... no, a shit bird."
"Stop joking!" Gintoki shouted, "Why am I being played by an old woman here? I want to go back!"
With that said, Gintoki walked directly past Ling and left without looking back.
"Where are you going?" Ling turned his head and looked at Gintoki's back, and reminded him calmly, "We blocked the mountain road with rocks, and if you escape, your companions will always be our eternal presence. The UNO card is being played there.”
After hearing this, Gintoki stopped, turned around with a dark face, and cursed: "You... you bastards! And those bastards from the production team, why didn't you tell them in advance when you chose this theme? And it's not that Is that idiot the protagonist? Although I am also unhappy, I don’t mind letting him come at this time! Why can he eat and sleep like he’s staying in an ordinary hotel? Why? Is he here for vacation? ! In this ghost chapter, you left me the identity of the protagonist and then went on vacation by yourself?!"
"That fool? Are you referring to Jiang...that person?" Ling asked doubtfully, and then went on to explain, "That person is special. He has no spiritual vision. If he did, he would have been left by the landlady three years ago. .”
"three years ago?"
"Hi," Ling nodded, "Three years ago, we found the man who had fainted from hunger on the back mountain, and then we brought him back. The landlady was very satisfied with him, but we later discovered that that man Without spiritual vision, even in this hotel that connects the present world and the world beyond, you will not notice the existence of any ghost... double. Whether it is a voice, a figure, or anything else."
"Because he is an idiot... There is no doubt that he is an idiot."
"No, according to my speculation, it may not be the case," Ling shook his head, "because he was clearly frightened when the landlady told him a ghost story. So it may be due to other reasons that we don't know."
"Then, why do those You... no, substitutes seem to be afraid of him?"
Ling shook his head and replied: "I don't know this very well, but I don't know why, but he can directly affect the substitutes around him. There was a substitute who wanted to tease him before, but he was slapped away by that person. That person He just smiled and said "As if I felt someone wanted to play a prank on me". After that, no spirit dared to get in front of him anymore. By the way, because he couldn't see it, because his disappeared substitute was enough. There are hundreds of them. This is also the reason why there are not enough manpower."
"It turns out it was all that bastard's fault..." Gintoki gritted his teeth and cursed bitterly.
"That's why the landlady let him live in the sealed underground, and then she finally sent him away. But I didn't expect that only three years later, that person came again." Ling was a little helpless, "It's not easy for the landlady too. ”
"That's right. Anyone who encounters that kind of idiot will be very distressed..." Gintoki nodded in agreement, but the next moment... "What a ghost! By the way, the trouble he caused has nothing to do with me! Why? I have to work in this damn place! By the way, I’m going to get Shinpachi and the others in trouble, what a bastard!!”
"Stop complaining. There's nothing we can do about it. After all, that person really can't sense the substitute." Ling comforted him, "It's better to work first now."
"It's work, but... ah!!" Before Gintoki could finish speaking, the half body of a male stand-in suddenly appeared from the door in the corridor beside him. Gintoki was so frightened that he screamed, "Here comes another one... !”
"You should be used to it, right?" Ling complained.
"Can you help me a little bit, Ling?" the male substitute said, "That customer started again."
"Yin, it's your turn." Ling reminded.
…
Gintoki half-crouched in front of the door of the room that kept making noises. He gently opened a crack in the door and peeked in. He saw a male stand-in with a bun and only wearing briefs, facing him silently. He punched the wall one after another to express his displeasure.
"What's going on? This substitute," Gintoki said softly, "has been knocking on the wall, causing supernatural phenomena."
At this moment, the stand-in finally revealed his full face, with long eyebrows and a mustache that looked like catfish whiskers, with a frown on his face and an unhappy look on his face.
"It's really annoying, Mitsuhide," the substitute muttered unhappily, and at the same time, without stopping, he still punched the wall with his fists. "I really think it's impossible, Mitsuhide."
"Who is Mitsuhide? What happened to that drunkard?" Gintoki whispered unhappily.
"Nobunaga," Ling replied.
"Nobunaga?! Oda Nobunaga?!" Gintoki's eyes were covered with black lines, "Why is Nobunaga only wearing a pair of underwear, and it's also baggy."
"Because he is a Western fan." Ling replied.
"Why do you have to choose underwear? There are many other things in the West, and they are much better than this!" Gintoki complained with black lines on his head.
"It's really unreasonable. How could you choose to betray at that time? We are only one step away from the unification of the world." Nobunaga continued to complain, "Show me the atmosphere, too!" "
"Hey, he can't think about Honnoji Temple at all." Gintoki complained speechlessly.
"It's like this every time I come here," Ling replied, "Yin, can you think of something before something like that happens? Otherwise, if something like that happens, it will really be out of control."
"That kind of thing? What thing?" Gintoki asked doubtfully, "And what can I do to face a drunkard like that?"
"Stop complaining, you are the only one who can stop him before then, please," Ling replied, "Older people will be very satisfied just chatting with juniors."
